The man pictured below and his wife (not pictured) who stopped for a photo-op in front of a road sign, told police they were following the sign and were on their way to "de tour de France" now taking place in the French countryside. Police, who thought the man looked suspect, explained the sign to the couple and escorted them to the bike path which had been re-routed a bit just outside the condo where the couple live. Construction of the new Highway 7/Wooddale overpass has made the area extremely noisy and confusing with large road building apparatus everywhere and the elderly couple apparently became disoriented. The man's wife was heard to say that she never realized the French countryside was so beautiful and she was ready for de tour. The unidentified man, who spoke with some sort of an accent, fervently denied any Nazi sympathies when questioned by St. Louis Park police. The strangely-helmeted biker explained he recently sustained a serious injury while living in Mexico, and though police where glad to see he was wearing a helmet, they seriously questioned his mental state when he began babbbling in French. His wife, refusing to be photographed, said that though her husband's upper four teeth, which were badly damaged in the fall, were now replaced with a beautiful temporary bridge, his intestines continued to give him trouble. Police were unable to explain what teeth and intestines had to do with anything. Thankfully, this couple found their way home and are resting comfortably in their condo watching the Tour de France on their new 40-inch flat screen television. The couple did ask the police if they would like to come up for a cup of tea, homebaked bread and homemade lemon curd. The police politely declined and said they must get back to work. No decision yet if social services will be notified. The couple's next of kin, children in St. Louis and New York City, were contacted.
